Ufc 59

I hope you folks watched UFC 59 as I had my front row tickets TV side. It was an awesome event with a few upsets that I didn't like but overall an action packed event.

For those of you don't know, Karo Parisyan fought and won and dedicated his fight to April 24, 1915 which was a Herculian effort on national tv. And beside him was the MMA hall of famer, Randy Couture!

yeah definately great fight by Karo and great effort after the fight as well. I though Diaz should have had the decision against Sherk though, maybe im biased but hes definately a great fighter, i love his style.

And great job to Karo, I'll definitely try and attend his fights as much as I can and support him.

Re: Ufc 59

i got the PPV too.

it was great.

I'm happy Karo won; but man, he still throws those looping wild shots. He seems to be taking too many chances, he's risking to get caught on the button and going to sleep. And those wild jump-shots, seem to be too risky (easy to break the hand). I'd like to see him fight a little tighter with less openings.

that's just my nonprofessional opinion.

It was also nice of him to dedicate the win to the armenian genocide. I wish the armenian community would give some support to him, and maybe some armenian businessmen would sponsor him.

I was unhappy with the arlovski vs sliva outcome. And with the ortiz vs griffin outcome

I don't know if you watch Pride Fighting, I'm sure you do, but Karo's style, especially this last fight, reminded me of Sakuraba or Fedor. It is wild and unpredictable which makes it exciting. However, his punches are haymakers. He is not a professional striker and hence he doesn't know precision punching. As you said if someone is a precision puncher and he throws a looping shot, if someone can throw a clean straight jab on the button, he will get caught.

I like the improvements Karo made on the striking though. He was more aggressive in this fight and he relied on powerful strikes such as the elbow. Usually he takes the technical road and wants to get a submission but I'm glad he was able to transition now.

I still don't think he can beat Matt Hughes because he lacks one thing Hughes has, and that's power. He needs to get to strength training, what the hell is it taking him so long for?

And yes, I am very disappointed that Arlovski got caught by Tim Sylvia who is the stupidest ox alive. I can't believe that yokel is the champion. Same goes for Tito and Griffin. That one particular judge, Cecil Peoples, has been known in the past to score crappy decisions on fights. They oughta get rid of him.

EDIT: And where are the Armenian sponsors? This guy should get some sponsorship. I wish I had the money.

Re: Ufc 59

Doesn't Arlovski look like an Armo, especially when he's got his beard.

Re: Ufc 59

Yes he does, but he's from Belarus, which is weird. Maybe he has some Armo blood.
